This episode is also sponsored by PearsonRavitz– helping physicians protect their most valuable assets. Private equity acquisitions in healthcare, particularly of physician practices, are increasing significantly, with private equity firms buying up practices at a rapid pace. This trend has significant implications for physicians, as it can impact their partnership opportunities, practice autonomy, and patient care. Private equity firms typically aim for a short-term exit strategy, which may not align with physicians' long-term goals. Furthermore, government officials are starting to scrutinize these acquisitions due to concerns about market consolidation and its effects on patient choice and pricing. Whether you're considering joining a practice, negotiating employment terms, or contemplating selling your practice to private equity, it's essential to understand the implications and seek professional advice if needed.
